Follow up from Previous Issues In our April issue we featured on our cover Zionsville Community High School golfer Adam Wood in the story, “Driving Stories Celebrating Zionsville Mothers to be a Champion”. Well, Adam it seems did have the “drive” to be a Champion as he won the Indiana State High School golf individual Adam Wood championship by one stroke.

Driving to Be a Champion As we also noted in our story, Adam was scheduled to tee it up on June 18 in the Toyota Junior Golf World Cup played in Japan. Adam shot 71-65-74-71 for a four day total of 281, tied for ninth individually. However, Adam’s second day round of 65 was the low round of the day for the field. See the interview Adam gave as the second round low scorer at www.wjgtc.org. Congratulations to Adam!

atZionsville.com Publisher, Writers to Speak at Across the Arts Conference | J. Andy Murphy If you build it … they will come!

These words will forever be attached to a movie (Field of Dreams) that was about a baseball field. So how do they relate to an event christened with the title ACROSS THE ARTS that is not about sports but people who write books, movies, newspaper columns, magazines, publishers, bloggers, and the ever-expanding social media and will appear not in a field of grass, but in a brick and mortar building that holds 1600 seats?

The foundation for the two stories is the same: It all started with a dream of doing something special for our own literary community to celebrate the written word across all genres of expression. The dream was easy. But the back story of accomplishing such a thing was thought to be nearly impossible.

Game Plan:

Need a super site. Nationally-recognized talent. Celebrity Hosts. Volunteers. Publicity. Sponsors. Game show with lots of prizes. Website. Facebook. Twitter. And last, but most important: Ticket sales and a box office staff with the important role of supporting the event by taking reservations to guarantee a seat and a chance to win luxury prizes throughout the day with a full program of interviews, panels and presentations followed by an After Party of wine and cheese and then a special Heartland Film! WHEW!

Was this Dream too big?

Was the thought of not trying to do it even bigger? “Yes,” said the gathered core team who put on their spikes and headed out into the world of reality. Excitement was embedded in their mitts as they surveyed the field of action. Eyes wide open, this team kept the dream right in front of them. First pitch to throw out: Recruiting the team. Would celebrated and award-winning Indiana talent, recognized nationally, take part in a home-town game with the only pay back reward being to share their personal stories, offer suggestions to other dreamers, and to mingle with those who have followed their 8

zionsville c o m m u n i t y

Zionsville_July_2013.indd 8

careers. A few pitches would test the waters of home runs versus strike outs. So the balls were thrown and then, just like the movie, the talent began to emerge from the fields.

First came:

Terre Haute’s own Michael Shelden, author of four literary biographies, including the Pulitzer Prize finalist, Orwell: The Authorized Biography, which was also a New York Times Notable Book. For fifteen years, he was a features writer for the London Daily Telegraph, and for 10 years, he served as a fiction critic for the Baltimore Sun. His latest biography is a groundbreaking account of the early life of Winston Churchill, Young Titan: The Making of Winston Churchill.

And then: Edward Kelsey-Moore. Mr. Kelsey-Moore was born in Indianapolis, and his short fiction has been published in many literary magazines including: Indiana Review, African American Review, and Inkwell. His new novel is entitled The Supremes at Earl’s All-You-Can-Eat! KelseyMoore is published by Knopf. His short story, Grandma and the Elusive Fifth Crucifix, was selected as an audience favorite on National Public Radio’s Stories on Stage series.

He is also a noted cellist.

And another Indiana icon said, “Add me to the team!” Yes, it is Dan Wakefield, an American novelist, journalist, and screenwriter. His best-selling novels, Going All the Way (1970) and Starting Over (1973), were made into feature films. Amongst his other notable works are Island in the City: The World of Spanish Harlem (1959), the pioneering survey of Spanish Harlem, a Puerto Rican settlement in New York, and New York in the Fifties (1992), based on the Beat Generation in Greenwich Village, which led to a documentary film in 2001.

And then Carmel’s own Rebecca Dotlich, a poet and children’s picture book author published by Simon and Schuster/Knopf/Harper Collins and Henry Holt said, “I’d love to be there!”

The scouting continued and weeks passed until, in a hushed

room, the team knew the bases were loaded with the score board totaling 29 Yes –0 No. Just a couple calls left to fill in the managers for the day … those who knew the game and how to get to the plate of interviewing.

The sound of the balls being hit out of the park now carry the names of Team Manager Debbie Knox (Anchor, WISHTV) with assists from Amanda Heckert (Editor, Indianapolis Monthly); Suzanne McAlister (Full Circle/Channel 40); Amber Strong (Real Scene TV/WTHR-13); and Dick Wolfsie putting on the uniform of game show host for “Wait, Wait! Do Tell Me” with lots of prizes tucked up his sleeve to give away to the fans in the audience during the game. (Hint: Make sure you check under your seat when you arrive and settle in.) Talk about stealing bases!

Just one last detail to fill.

The field – the site – where people would come to see this “first” of its kind in the biggest game of all. Why not dream big the team decided. The call was made to the Center for the Performing Arts. “You’re up,” said the umpire to the team captain as the number was dialed. Sitting in silence, the team waited as the captain made the pitch. Quietly the phone was hung up. The pitch was thrown and the ball sailed out of the park … The Center for the Performing Arts had given this dream the home field of the magnificent Palladium Theater. How sweet is that!

Now, as we enter the bottom of the 9th, the fans will have the chance to hit the ball out of the park by making a reservation (317-843-3800) as we ask our community to support Indiana’s finest literary talent lining the bases for a day of entertainment, prizes, wine & cheese After Party, and a special Heartland Film movie.

Batters up! Take the field to support Indiana’s finest as they present Across the Arts. This is one event you don’t want to miss! It’s a Home Run of an event.

STEPHANIE FREE Do You Remember?

Story & Photos | JJ Kaplan

S

cholars have long theorized why we remember so little from the first years of our lives, and the meaning of those memories which do remain. Research indicates that we remember very little before the age of two.

For Stephanie Freeland, daughter of Steve and Jan Freeland and a 2013 graduate of Zionsville Community High School, her earliest memory is her love of horses.

Stephanie clearly remembers her first pony ride at age two at the zoo. When the ride ended, she screamed hysterically because she didn’t want it to end. So, what’s a good parent to do? Her mom and dad kept paying the additional $5 to go around again, and another $5 to go again, another $5 and another round, etc. Stephanie wouldn’t settle down for her afternoon nap until she and her mother had driven a mile down the road to check on a horse to make sure it was okay.

Clearly, this passion for horses developed early in her life and hasn’t diminished in the slightest.

This fall, Stephanie will attend William Woods University on an equine performance scholarship. The university is well known for equine studies and maintains an elite stable of Grand Prix dressage horses. Stephanie has her sights on making a future U.S. Olympic Dressage Team. Dressage is described as “horse ballet,” requiring the horse and rider to combine the strength and agility of gymnastics with the elegance and beauty of ballet. The result is truly the best blending of sport and art in this amateur rider/writer’s humble opinion.

Stephanie began taking English riding lessons at age five.

10

zionsville C O M M U N I T Y

Zionsville_July_2013.indd 10

When she was eight years old, her trainer told her mother that Stephanie wasn’t losing interest in the sport, and advised the Freelands to prepare their checkbook for the ownership of a horse. However, Steve wasn’t going along with the program, just then. He protested, “We need a horse like a hole in the head,” – a father’s famous last words. It wasn’t long before the checkbook came out and Steve’s love of horses and his support for Stephanie’s riding began to grow.

As fate would have it, there was a young, neglected Arabian gelding at the stable named “Joker.” No one cared about him. He quietly stood by the fence and watched as Stephanie worked around the stable. He seemed to have a natural affinity for her and she started to watch him as well. Joker’s owner couldn’t help but notice that the two were drawn to each other. An agreement was reached for a trial period of one year in which Stephanie was required to train and care for Joker. At the end of the trial year, Stephanie owned Joker.

On their first ride, Joker was spooked by the backfire of a passing motorcycle. This was the first time, but not the last, that Joker bucked Stephanie off. Any rider knows the mantra that if you fall, you get right back on the horse. And so she did, again and again. Over the years, Stephanie has broken her nose twice, broken her tailbone, broken her arm, broken ribs and received a concussion. Thankfully, Stephanie is diligent using a helmet every time she mounts a horse. Although, several helmets have been cracked along the way, her determination remains solid.

Eventually, Stephanie changed riding disciplines to dressage, for which Joker was not well suited. Enter Rhuie (pronounced Rue), a quarter horse previously trained in Western, and in which a trainer saw great dressage potential. Again, Rhuie

didn’t click with his first owner and Stephanie felt an affinity for the cast-off horse. Soon Stephanie and Rhuie were learning dressage from the ground up together.

Stephanie found dressage trainer Ken Levy of Legacy Farms in Noblesville. Ken is a dressage judge who recognized the talent and dedication that Stephanie gave to the sport. Rhuie has moved up the ranks in dressage, under Ken’s direction and Stephanie’s ability to understand her horse.

For some lucky girls wanting to compete in dressage, parents simply purchase an outstanding show horse that gets them to a certain level. That would not be Stephanie’s case. Stephanie doesn’t have the “Cadillac” of horses, just yet. She considers herself an underdog in the competitive equine world. She personally trained her horses entirely. It will be exciting to watch her growth now that she will have the opportunity to be working with world-class dressage horses at college.

However, don’t think Stephanie’s interests are limited to just horses. She also plays classical and modern music on piano, violin and acoustic guitar and was a member of the high school orchestra, honors orchestra, and full symphony.

Perfect Practice Makes Perfect Story & Photos | JJ Kaplan s Malcolm Gladwell recognized in his bestselling book Outliers, practicing something for 10,000 hours can be essential in becoming exceptional at a particular endeavor.

I grew up believing the adage that ”practice makes perfect.”

I certainly did my fair share of practicing math problems to finally comprehend the formulas. I recall practicing the piano to finally play classical pieces of the masters.

However, perfection cannot be attained if there is a flaw in the form of practice. “Perfect practice makes perfect” has been the guiding force in Jimmy Wang’s philosophy of life resulting in his achieving the remarkable distinction of one of a select few to attain perfect scores on both the SAT and ACT tests.

Jimmy Wang, son of Jian and Wanda Wang of Zionsville and brother to a younger sister, Julia, is a 2013 graduate of University High School. He recently was awarded the Presidential Scholarship, which included an honorary ceremony and dinner at the White House with President Obama. In the fall, he will attend Washington University in St. Louis to study neuroscience with an eye toward medical school.

Jimmy earned excellent grades which were simply expected in his family. His parents instilled a strong work ethic in their children. Jimmy excelled in academics, but he also enjoyed theatrical performances, participated on the academic team, and ran cross country at University High School. The nurturing environment at school, coupled with encouraging parents, helped him develop a healthy sense of

self and direction for his future.

Jimmy accomplished the daunting task of achieving the perfect 36 Act and 2400 SAT scores, despite the very long odds of doing so. In 2012, of the 1.6 million students who took the SAT test only 360 received a perfect score (0.022%). In that same year, 1.6 million students took the ACT with only 704 getting a perfect score (0.1%).

Obviously, the odds of getting a perfect score on both tests are even greater.

For those preparing to take the SAT and/or ACT there were several basic principles that Jimmy used to prepare for these college readiness assessments. Understanding the objectives

of the two tests was the first step in Jimmy’s preparation. To prepare for the ACT, Jimmy realized that this exam is a test of sheer knowledge of science, math, reading, and writing. On the other hand, the SAT is geared toward applying knowledge to answer questions of math, reading, and writing.

To prepare for the SAT exam, Jimmy attended prep classes over several weeks to learn the ropes of the exam and then practiced at home on his own. The prep classes provided insight into tactics meant to trick and confuse the student into choosing a wrong answer. Taking the prep class was invaluable to learn the inside track of how to avoid the traps.

After the prep class, Jimmy then used several study guides to practice on his own. The study guides contained sample tests, which he practiced again and again.

Diet can contribute to an efficient aptitude, so Jimmy increased his intake of protein a couple of days prior to the exam. Fueling your body with healthy food is always good for you, and Jimmy understood the mind-body connection so he fed his brain with nutritious food.

Getting a good night’s sleep for the couple of days prior also improved performance – not just the night before. He recommended students plan a schedule that supports good

sleep habits a couple of days in advance.

Studying should take place well in advance of the exam.

Build your long-term memory bank over a long period of time. Cramming a couple of days before the exam will actually reduce your long-term memory. While you may remember one or two points by cramming, you will forget much more information from your long-term memory. So, study well in advance and limit the amount of cramming.

The morning of the exam don’t forget a healthy breakfast.

The exam lasts several hours and only allows quick breaks, so fuel your tank for the long journey ahead. During the exam, check your answers at least once. Try not to go crazy with doubting yourself, but do a reasonable check of your answers.

Creating New Smiles Close to Zionsville | Kathi Moore

hen talking about the highly personal level of dental services provided by Cottingham Orthodontics, Dr. Karen Cottingham makes clear they approach ortho services as a family affair. “The kids who come to our office are not just patients, we treat them as if they were our kids,” stressed Dr. Karen Cottingham of Cottingham Orthodontics, with just a trace of her Alabama roots sneaking through in her voice.

W

A graduate of Indiana University’s residency program, Dr. Cottingham practices in Northwest Indianapolis (off I-465 and 38th Street), and Avon. A quick 15-minute drive from Zionsville, Cottingham Orthodontics offers free new patient consultations. Once you’ve met Dr. Cottingham and her staff you’ll realize what a comfortable, friendly and fun place it is. “People really appreciate our experienced staff,” said Cottingham. “They come to us because they like us.”

kids and adults alike – come because they love the enjoyable environment and happy people. “We believe that orthodontics is more than a clinical service, it’s a relationship,” she said. “One of our patients, Hanna Elliott, was voted best smile in the graduating senior class at Zionsville High School. I take great pride in the quality of my work, so I was happy to hear that everyone recognized it in Hanna’s smile!” enthused Cottingham.

Cottingham Orthodontics offers it all: excellent patient care, superior customer service and convenience, all within a 15-minute drive of Zionsville.

Kathi Moore, a career marketer and public relations director, has a natural curiosity that leads her in many different directions and helps to provide ideas for her writing. She and her husband have 3 children, 3 dogs and 3 cats.

Most team members are long-time employees who clearly love their work. Perhaps it’s the positive atmosphere, or the deep commitment each woman feels for the practice. “We are highly effective and yet very respectful of your time.

We have varied hours daily with extended hours on school days,” pointed out Cottingham.

The practice has embraced technology, with an interactive website (www.CottinghamOrtho.com) where you can manage your account and make payments. Appointment reminders are sent out via text and email, and before/after photos are posted on the Facebook page, along with tips from the doctor.

Concerned about your insurance coverage? Dr. Cottingham is committed to customized treatment plans and accepts most insurance plans, which often have a lifetime maximum. She works with patients to achieve a balance between treatment time, cost, and benefits to get the desired results. “If I don’t have to put braces on a child twice – once when he/she is 8 years old and again as a teenager – I don’t.

In most cases, I can treat a child with braces very effectively one time and save the patient and parents additional time and money,” said Cottingham.

Dr. Cottingham clearly loves what she does. While she is known to referring dentists for her technical proficiency and excellent care, she feels most of her patients –

“At Cottingham Orthodontics, we pride ourselves on quality care and attention to detail for every patient,” said Dr. Karen Cottingham, Cottingham Orthodontics.

home’s bedroom pinning a wall against JoAnne Shoemaker and sending a stunned Shoemaker to the hospital with a broken arm in two places.

“That was another chapter in my life,” said Shoemaker. “I suffered more injuries that night than I did in Korea.”

The memories of the war are still firmly etched into the thoughts of Shoemaker and the other six million U.S. troops that served in Korea during the three-year conflict between North Korea, China and the Soviet Union against South Korea and the United States. The Korean War exploded in 1950 when North Korean forces crossed the 38th parallel and attacked South Korea. For Americans, it was a weary return to the battlefield after the recent conclusion of World War II. “Korea was kind of mingled in there,” said Shoemaker. “It was an after-thought to World War II. There were people who thought we shouldn’t be in Korea.”

The United States and allies were in Korea for three years.

The 60th Anniversary – July 27, 1953 – of the end of the Korean chapter is approaching. However, the potential of future squabbles between the two Korean countries is still present in 2013. The sparring with North Korea recently resurfaced when Kim Jong Um, the third generation of the dictatorship family of North Korea, threatened atomic bomb strikes on South Korea and the United States.

Korean War Vet Bill Shoemaker: One Lucky Guy | Ray Compton During his two-year tour on the battlefields and frontlines of the Korean War, Zionsville native Bill Shoemaker witnessed many of the horrors, fears and uncertainties experienced by ordinary men and women in war settings. “You saw some devastating situations,” recalled the 87-year-old Shoemaker during an interview at the Zionsville American Legion Post 79. “Some things that you don’t want to remember.”

Ironically, Shoemaker survived one of the scariest moments of his life in the early morning hours three years ago in his rural Boone County home. While he and his wife were sleeping at 3 a.m., a speeding car slammed into the 20

zionsville C O M M U N I T Y

Zionsville_July_2013.indd 20

For Shoemaker, it was a weary rerun of the rants from the North Korean leadership and government. “This is what happens when dictators feel they have to elevate and prove themselves to their people,” Shoemaker said. “He has enough power and he wants to wield his power any way he can. You don’t know what can trigger someone like him.

“War can be a necessary evil, but we can’t always solve these situations with war. We have to coordinate the situation with the right people and avoid military conflict.

There are so many chances something bad can happen if you have conflict.”

Shoemaker knows first-hand about the pains of war. After graduating from Zionsville High School in 1943, Shoemaker worked the family farm before enrolling at Purdue. He graduated with an agriculture education degree in 1950.

After serving in the ROTC (Reserve Officers Training Corps) program at Purdue, Shoemaker was ticketed for the U.S. Army and, eventually, to Korea as a first lieutenant. “I got into ROTC because of my brothers,” said Shoemaker, whose father fought in World War I in France, and whose brother, Jim, served under General George Patton in the European Stage in World War II. “They advised me to get into it.”

Before he headed to Korea, Shoemaker and his Boilermaker

girlfriend, JoAnne, decided to get married in her hometown, Cleveland. “I didn’t know if I would make it back,” Shoemaker said. “So we decided to get married.”

Indeed, not all Americans returned from the war. More than 33,000 died in military conflict; another 3,000 died from non-battle wounds; and more than 8,000 were reported as MIA (missing in action). “My biggest fear was being captured,” Shoemaker said. “I didn’t think I could survive being captured. I didn’t want to be a hero. I just wanted to get back to Boone County.”

The observers were also targeted by the North Koreans.

Thus, there were numerous anxious moments during these forays for Shoemaker and his mates who huddled behind sand bags, slept in sleeping bags and were often too close to the soldiers from the opposing side. One particular situation is still locked into Shoemaker’s recollection of the war.

“There were three of us, and before we went to our three different positions, we flipped a coin to see who would be in the middle,” he recalled. “The other two would be on the flanks.” Shoemaker and still-friend, Keith Probst, were assigned the flanks. The soldier in the middle position was soon killed by incoming fire. “I still can’t say his name,” Shoemaker said of his fallen comrade.

“It is still hard to think about him.”

I didn’t want to be a hero.

I just wanted to get back to Boone County.

A safe return to Indiana was in the balance during his stay in Korean. As a member of the Second Division for the 37th Field Artillery, Shoemaker was assigned to be a frontline observer.

He and two other observers would travel ahead of their troops, scoping and following the advancing positions of the North Koreans. That information would be conveyed to the allied forces who would launch artillery shell attacks on the enemy. The outposts could be up to five miles in front of the friendly troops and the radio signals could be jammed by the opposing forces.

Does Shoemaker have other recurring memories of the war?

“For a long time I didn’t like to hear screaming,” he said. “It would drive me crazy. I had some bad dreams for a while.

My worst nightmare would be about me being captured. It would be bad. My wife would wake up and ask me what happened.”

Eventually, the Korean War reached an uneasy conclusion.

The 38th Parallel returned as the official dividing line between South and North Korea. For Shoemaker, the end of the war meant returning to Boone County and pursuing a professional career and family life. He won in both arenas.

He and JoAnne welcomed two sets of twins within 16 months of each other, and Shoemaker turned his career from farming to banking. He worked for 25 years at the Boone County Bank and for 10 years at Farmers Bank in Frankfort.

Expert investment management for portfolios of $500,000 or more.

Despite the urgings of former U.S. Senator Birch Bayh to enter politics, Shoemaker chose to remain on the political sidelines. But, there are three other loves that have surfaced for the Korean War veteran. The Shoemakers, married for 62 years, have been elected to the Boone County 4-H Hall of Fame for their service to 4-H; Shoemaker constructed a nine-hole golf course (Hickory Bend) on his farm; and he is a frequent visitor to the American Legion Post in Zionsville where he huddles with friends and other veterans.

Someday, Shoemaker wants to write a book about his life in the military, farming and banking. He has the title: One Lucky Guy. And he has the true stories that impacted that one lucky guy.

Eric Brattain Service with a Smile Story & Photos | JJ Kaplan The phrase “service with a smile” brings to mind the philosophy of many a fast-food restaurant. While it may be a cliché, we all need to go about our daily duties with a happy attitude and thoughtfulness toward others. This came to mind recently when I reconnected with a young military man serving our country. In a few weeks, Eric Brattain will be deployed to Afghanistan – a soldier who combines a determined, driven personality with a sense of playfulness and optimism.

Brattain, son of David and Jill Brattain, Whitestown, and grandson of Jo Ann Keen, Zionsville, grew up with a sense of serving others. Eric’s animal-loving mom had always dreamed of running her own kennel. In 1989, she opened 24

zionsville c o m m u n i t y

Zionsville_July_2013.indd 24

Zionsville Country Kennel, which later became a hub of animal care including Zionsville Country Veterinary Clinic, dog training, and a grooming salon. The kennel required all hands on deck from the Brattain family. Hard work was instilled in, and required of, each family member to ensure the animals were well-cared for. Every day on the job, Eric learned more about animals, and developed a strong work ethic.

It’s difficult to have a bad day in Eric’s presence. Eric described himself during his teen years as being a “goofball.” While he knew the limits, he tested those boundaries with strong self-confidence and love of life.

He is an eternal optimist who sees the good in others, and reaches out to make a difference in their lives. He doesn’t judge; he seeks to understand.

While in high school, Eric became interested in mechanics, and soon became obsessed with working on cars. He invested time and finances in building his own custom muscle-car.

I had the pleasure of riding in his souped-up, eight-cylinder, 500 horsepower Trans Am named “Rachel.” As a middleaged adult, I tried to maintain my middle-aged adult composure during the ride. But, I couldn’t help but giggle – and neither could Eric. When he drives he looks like a kid in a candy store with a huge grin etched on his young, unlined face.

After graduating high school in 2009, Eric was bored with his life, apartment, and routine. He walked into a U.S. Army recruiter’s office, and left with signed papers to enlist. With the possibilities and excitement that the Army offered, it sounded like a fun thing to do.

Eric explained that you arrive at your Basic Combat

Training Unit with only the clothes on your back.

Everything else is issued to you. Three of the four days were spent without sleep. Many enlistees cracked and couldn’t pass this first test of endurance. He noted that it’s now more difficult to be accepted into the Army, and that the Army is striving to be a positive representative of our country.

Having an affinity for mechanics, Eric’s entry exam illustrated a remarkable aptitude for problem-solving and general maintenance knowledge. He enlisted for three years and 26 weeks as a 91B Wheeled Vehicle Mechanic. Eric graduated in the top ten percent of his enlistee class, and progressed to a specialty job reserved for the most trusted and knowledgeable professionals. He currently is fulfilling two high-priority positions.

The vehicles Eric works with are complex, some with parts that are classified. Some vehicles weigh in excess of 70,000 pounds and are capable of pulling houses off their foundations with ease. His job is to fix all wheeled vehicles

provided by the Army. He also retrieves the blown-up, mangled heaps of metal damaged by enemy insurgents, many times while under fire. It’s imperative these vehicles are recovered and not fall into the wrong hands.

While Eric is eligible for discharge next spring, he’s already re-enlisted. He’s excited to end his leave in the States and to be deployed to Afghanistan. Brattain will receive a promotion to Corporal in charge of Maintenance Operations, Recovery Operations, and Platoon Communications for the duration of his deployment.

Brattain explained that even when home on leave, he’s never truly relaxed. Our mundane environment does not hold the same challenges for Eric as does the thrill of combat. He is planning a career in the Army and absolutely loves the exhilaration and purpose it offers. Eric is no longer a gangly goofball teen, but a steely soldier that has found his way in serving our county as his call of duty.

At age 22, Eric believes he’s already lived an amazing life, and has nearly completed his “bucket list.” In the civilian world, he is just an average Joe. In the Army, he’s a force to be reckoned with. His internal compass focuses on discipline and drive: discipline of knowing when to talk

and when to listen; drive to fight for our country with a passion, and without question. The Army is not just a paycheck, it is his livelihood. Eric is somebody with a burning desire to make a difference. And, when he leaves the Army, he’ll do so with marketable, life-long skills as a vehicle mechanic.

Polo : The Sport

of Kings, Hoosier-Style | Neal G. Moore Perhaps as early as 500 B.C. the sport of polo has been played on horse-trodden fields in distant lands like India, China and Persia – and today, in Whitestown, Indiana. On summer weekends men and women gather at Hickory Hall Polo Club to swing mallets at four-inch diameter wooden or plastic balls, taking aim and banging away toward distant goalposts while astride powerful thoroughbred horses that first gallop, then turn abruptly, all for good times and good causes. Welcome to polo, Hoosier-style.

“I love horses – have had ‘em all my life,” explained Ron Marburger, a Hickory Hall polo player and owner of E.F. Marburger Fine Flooring in Fishers. “I also love athletics, so it’s a perfect combination. Playing on top of a horse works for me and, I don’t have to run fast anymore, the horse does that.”

Marburger first played the game as a teen while a student at Culver Military Academy in northern Indiana. He quit, then 35 years later re-discovered his polo passion. He has paid a painful price having endured a torn meniscus, two torn rotator cuffs, and arm surgery. There’s a reason polo is recognized as the second most dangerous sporting activity in the world, after auto racing. Which begs the question: Why, at age 70, does Marburger keep playing? “Why do people skydive?” he chuckled. “I couldn’t live without polo, or at least not happily. I love it!”

Club founder Greg Chandler labeled polo as “great physical exercise” requiring a tremendous amount of athleticism from riders. “Your heart is pounding; every muscle is worked hard. After a match you are just physical drained,” explained Chandler. “It’s not just sitting on a horse. The sport is extremely demanding.”

10th Anniversary Boone County Polo Charity - Presented by Zionsville Meadows -

Benefiting Boone County Senior Services Inc. & Witham Health Services Foundation Come and join us for the 10th Anniversary Boone County Charity Polo Event on Saturday, July 13, 2013. Gates open at 11:00 a.m. and the Polo Match begins at 1:00 p.m. Bring your friends and family to Wells Fargo Polo Field at the Hickory Hall Polo Club just north of Zionsville.

This one-of-a-kind, fun-filled event benefits Boone County Senior Services, Inc. and Witham Health Services Foundation. Last year the event raised more than $16,000 to benefit healthcare projects in the community as well as life sustaining and enriching services to older adults.

Chandler founded the 12-member Hickory Hall Polo Club for two primary reasons: to secure official sanctioning by the U.S. Polo Association – a needed designation to schedule matches against quality teams – and as an effective tool for charitable fundraising.

Each summer, Hickory Hall schedules 16 matches, each with a designated charity recipient. Donation funds come from admission fees, silent auctions, corporate sponsorships, and purchases of private, sideline viewing boxes. “Donna [Greg’s wife] and I love ways that we can give back to the community. These charity matches have generated thousands of dollars for a variety of organizations in Boone and surrounding counties,” noted Chandler.

In addition to the thrilling polo match, there will be a silent auction and children will enjoy activities created just for them. Awards will be presented to a “Pretty Woman” and the best decorated VIP box. Dress in style, bring a tent if you wish along with your picnic and beverages.

While polo is often called The Sport of Kings, women also ride and play alongside the men. It’s just one of several reasons that the local polo community touts theirs as a unique sport. Indeed, Chandler said most people have no idea that polo has been played in Indiana for at least 70 years, nor do they know who’s playing it. “People are intrigued,” Chandler said, adding that the public is always welcome to attend the club’s charity matches.

Location: Wells Fargo Field at Hickory Hall Polo Club, 7551 E. 100 N., Whitestown, Indiana 46075.

To learn more about polo in Whitestown visit www.hickoryhallpoloclub.com.

Gates open at noon, match begins at 1:00 p.m., gates close one hour after conclusion of the match. Sponsorships and VIP booth opportunities are still available.

Z’Sparkle Party & Drag Race to End Alzheimer’s | Neil Lucas . Photos | Chris Bucher

W W

hat do you get when you combine a lost bet, a reason to dress up, and a group of friends who want to make a difference? The answer: Z’Sparkle Party and Drag Race to End Alzheimer’s disease!

It started in 2010 when a group of friends (Leigh Ann Akard, Todd Scales, Barry Hicks, Amy Lacy, Steve and Vicki Snider) began talking about hosting a party to raise money for the Alzheimer’s Association. “Z’Sparkle” was decided upon for the theme of the party because, in the amount of time it takes an average fireworks sparkler to burn – less than 70 seconds – another person is diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease; another life’s light begins to dim.

Additionally, to honor the “sparkle” that victims of Alzheimer’s once had – the sparkle in their eyes; the sparkle of their love, talents and spirit; the sparkle that their lives brought to all the lives they touched – it was decided that guests would wear sparkly dresses.

The idea of a party for Alzheimer’s had special meaning for Amy Lacy who had lost her mother, Jackie Lacy, to Alzheimer’s. Which then prompted someone to ask, “Sparkly dresses? For the guys too?” Sure, why not!

Meanwhile, in early 2010 a friendly Super Bowl wager was made between two friends: one an avid Saints fan who lives in New Orleans, and Zionsville resident Steve Snider, a dedicated Colts fan. The stakes for the good-natured bet was of the “dress-like-a-fan” nature and including a walk down the brick street of Zionsville. If the Saints fan lost, bib overalls and a Colts jersey would be the attire. If Steve Snider lost, a dazzling dress and Saints attire would be in order. As we know, the Colts lost, but a great event to raise money for Alzheimer’s won.

“So,” questioned Barry Hicks, “if another guy walked with you, it would be sort of a ‘drag race’, right?” Thus, Z’Sparkle Party and Drag Race to End Alzheimer’s was born – a lighthearted, fun event designed to bring the Zionsville community together to raise awareness about this devastating disease, and to raise money to support the Alzheimer’s Association.

With the partnership of Zionsville Meadows the idea quickly became a reality. In short order, it grew into an event involving brave gentlemen in our community and beyond – business owners, town leaders, even a race car driver – who agreed to don a dress, collect donations and run down Main Street in the name of a very good cause.

The first year’s event drew large crowds and raised about $13,000 for the Alzheimer’s Association of Greater Indiana Chapter. In 2011, it drew even bigger crowds, nearly 50 “dragstars”, and raised more than $27,000. Last year’s

donation of $30,000 brought the total over the years to more than $70,000.

Event planners hope to take that grand total over the $100,000 mark in 2013.

New to this year’s event will be the addition of “dudettes” – ladies “duded up” and dressed as men. Live music will be provide by Henle and the Loops, a fantastic 11-piece band playing everything from James Brown to Jimmy Buffet. Anne Ryder and Ray Cortapassi return for the second year in a row to MC the evening’s festivities.

This “race” is much like a real drag race, with a field of racers jockeying for position. In this case, instead of speed it’s money collected by each racer and their “pit crew” that determines the real winners. Instead of helmets and driving suits, the “dragstars” wear dresses and sparkles.

The racing festivities will begin with a “Parade Lap” during which Ryder and Cortopassi will introduce each “lady” and her crew as “she” saunters down the bricks in a sparkly parade of splendor, collecting donations and strutting “her” stuff.

Then the real race begins featuring three heats: First the Dudettes will show off their speed in the “Wingtips” class. Next, the gentlemen who are ladies competing in “Flats” (for those dragstars who choose to don running shoes and run “flat out”.) Finally, the “real men” who are brave enough to

a woman’s touch–now with manpower!

M a r k A Career Baltz Touchdown | Geri Neita Did you know there are almost as many quarterbacks in the National Football League as there are officials? With only 119 positions and no set retirement age, few opportunities become available to officiate at the national level, making it one of the most elite, highly-sought-after, part-time jobs in the world. Zionsville resident Mark Baltz feels fortunate to be counted among the few who’ve made the cut.

While Baltz’s career as a head linesman for the NFL came about somewhat serendipitously, it seems this Lancaster, Ohio native had been preparing for the big leagues from a young age. Always interested in sports, Baltz played a little football and basketball in school, but felt he was really too small for either sport. Then in a junior high PE class, he was appointed gym leader and was responsible for refereeing all games.

Baltz took his junior high experience all the way to high school, where he refereed basketball intramural games simply because he’d done it before. “There’s got to be an authority figure there and I had experience,” he said. “Besides, playing a little bit, I ended up blowing a whistle a lot.”

During Baltz’s freshman year at Ohio University, his junior high PE teacher pulled some strings that allowed his young protégé to take a course designed for upper classmen who wanted to become licensed through the Ohio High School Athletic Association. The first semester focused on football; the second semester, basketball. By the age of 19, Baltz was working junior varsity and varsity ball games across central Ohio. “Most officials, once they get their license, have to start at the 4th through 6th grade level and work their way up – freshmen ball, JV ball, then five or six years into that, they might get a varsity schedule. My high school athletic director gave me varsity games right away, so I didn’t have to go through that sort of four- or five-year apprenticeship,” Baltz said.

Baltz finished college, married his high school sweetheart,

Nicki, and was accepted into graduate school for physical therapy at Ohio State. Life was good, but there was just one problem: Baltz was sick of school! As it happened, the vice president of sales for Anchor Hocking lived down the street and offered the recent graduate a deal he couldn’t pass up. If Baltz went to work in sales for two years at Anchor Hocking and didn’t like it, the neighbor would pay for the remainder of Baltz’s graduate education. It was a no-brainer. With nothing to lose but, perhaps, a little time, Baltz accepted the offer. Shortly thereafter, he was handed his first sales territory in Fort Wayne, Ind. With five years of officiating already under his belt, Baltz now had to get an Indiana license and start over. He had no connections in Indiana. Back then, Ohio played high school football under college rules, so it was a little different, but basketball was the same. He started to make some local contacts in Fort Wayne, but officiating experience didn’t seem to matter. He was told time after time that he’d have to start all over again. Along with the Indiana license came a directory of schools. “I didn’t know anybody. I just took northeastern Indiana and drew a line on the map. I found 60 or 80 high schools within 50 miles of Fort Wayne, sent all the schools a letter, and told them about myself,” Baltz said.

Surprisingly, some hired him, sight unseen. But there were other stumbling blocks. Ohio was a football state, but Indiana was a basketball state and schools would contact their officials four, five, six years down the road just to be sure they could get the ones they wanted. And, they didn’t want just anybody. “It [basketball] was a religion – still is in a lot of small towns in Indiana,” he said.

Baltz trudged along, progressing further in basketball than in football. “I was working freshmen basketball games in the Mid America and Big 10 at a real young age. I was on a core list of 10 or 15 guys, and when Indiana University would play a varsity game against Purdue, they would play a JV game right before it. There weren’t a lot of people there, but it was still college basketball,” said Baltz.

Just as he was on the borderline of moving up in the ranks, the NCAA did away with freshmen eligibility rules, so his platform for advancement quickly disappeared. It was the mid to late ‘70s, and Baltz continued to referee small college basketball and small college football. A guy had to find his way onto a crew and back then – it was the buddy system.

“You had to know one of the old-time referees and somebody on his crew had to retire, die or move on,” Baltz explained.

“I was an alternate on this crew for a couple of years and followed them everywhere they went on Saturdays, and never worked a game – just kinda tagged along and observed. Then one of their people moved to the Big Ten and I was picked to take his place on the crew.” The referee on the crew had a good reputation and was one of the better known refs in small college football. “We were all excited. We had a great crew and a good schedule,” Baltz added.

Then something unexpected happened. In August, he received a call informing him that his crew referee had fallen out of a tree in his front yard and had shattered both ankles, ending his career. “He called the college supervisor and told him of the problem: he had his crew and his schedule but couldn’t referee. The supervisor asked the ref what he thought should be done,” Baltz recalled. It was then that he recommended the young up-and-comer to the supervisor, and just like that, Baltz went from line

scrimmage official to referee.

However, within three days of taking the position, one crew member was transferred to Wisconsin by his employer, another decided to retire, and a third thought it looked like a good time to quit. So, in mid-August Baltz found himself as a new referee with no one else on the crew. Now, it was his turn to call the supervisor and devise a plan for the upcoming season. Baltz contacted several other young officials who were working games at the high school level, and together, they made up his new crew. Interestingly, every one of those guys went on to have great careers in Division 1 college football. Baltz, however, made it one step further.

This year marks Baltz’s 25th season in the NFL, and when asked if he had any retirement plans, he suggested that it will likely happen within the next two or three years.

“There’s a long list of people hoping to fill very few positions,” he said. At the time of this interview, there were no openings for NFL officials.
